Thank you Erniegirl and gabs3.0! I definitely intend to try my hand at some more Hannah or Logan/Hannah fic so we'll just have to see what happens. At least this recent hiatus will give me some time to work on it.

sexycereal - you actually made me love a Logan/Hannah fic. So well written and characterized. Logan, Hannah and Veronica were completely believable to me. I could even get into Logan actually developing true feelings for Hannah. And to me, Veronica's actions bespoke of her trying to prevent Hannah from becoming her post-Lilly's death. Maybe a little revenge against Logan too, but mostly saving the "innocent", which no one bother to do for her. Thanks for posting it.

Gabs, I'm working on the next chapter of Cracking the Shell as well. Should (in theory) be done tonight if not tomorrow. Thanks for appreciating my first fic! It's not smutty like my other two, which aren't on my LJ, but I still enjoy writing it. Update: Okay, I'm 3/4 finished with this chapter but I almost fell asleep on my keyboard, so it will be soon but not tonight, sorry!

Tiana: Given that you already promised you were working on Holding the Curve and VM is a repeat tonight...you have us anxiously awaiting the next chapter! :)

Musey: I'd love an update to Alien Shore or if you wanted to continue your AU of your AU The Paradise Syndrome that would rock as well!

I also read Hollow World and it's a brand new WIP (written in parts) fic with a dark undertone (violence), but well written and gripping and the violence was not gratituous. I only like gratituous smut, not gratituous violence :)

I'm here to drop a rec for She Will Be Loved by Her Owlness. Lovely, well-written fic centered on Mac/Cassidy and Logan/Veronica. I loved the development of all four characters. And of course, I'm also here to encourage the author to write more Mac/Cassidy fics. ;)

I'm looking for a fic that I read a while ago...it's one where veronica gets pregnant but then has a miscarriage..if someone could help me out it would be awesome

I'm definitely going to have to second RowanCeleste's rec of Hollow World Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. It begins with delicious L/V Snark, gets rather dark, and ends in delicious angst, all totally in character. I can't wait to read more!

spygrrl76, thank you! Your reading of Veronica was exactly as I intended it, I just can't see her being okay with Logan taking advantage of someone like Hannah when she herself has had issues with similar events in the past.

And I would definitely second the rec for Thursday Next, it's an excellent read with really great characterisation and an interesting premise.

Thanks for the rec, auroraskyes! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Mac and Cassidy are a lot of fun to play with, and when I add Logan and Veronica to the mix, things just get even more exciting. (heh)

Additionally, I do appreciate the encouragement for future MC fics - even though I have already written 2 previously. (here and here ... yes, I am a shameless self-plugger)

Thanks again! :)

kur's Looks like an Evildoer is spot on Logan and Weevil characterization! If you haven't checked it out yet, go do it. This fic gets better and better with each update.

*waves*

Hello! My internet has been bust-ass, so I haven't been around in forever. I'm still getting caught up on all the great fic that's been posted recently, and I'm taking this opportunity to pimp some stuff I wrote when I had the whole bust-ass internet situation going on.

I've been steadily updating my Big Damn Table of Lambfic, and I've now written up to prompt 60, plus two Writer's Choice. It's all Lamb, all the time.

One of the Writer's Choice pieces is a futurefic featuring Lamb and Duncan, called Polished Smooth, And Beauty Out Of Broken Things.

And I also posted a Duncan/Veronica ficlet a few weeks ago, which very few people have reviewed, probably because of the whole thing where it's about Duncan and Veronica. But I like it, so there, and I'd love it if people checked it out: The Truth Is Never Easy, And It Often Isn't Good.

*runs off to read a week's worth of fic*

sadie kate, I really liked "The Truth Is Never Easy, And It Often Isn't Good"--but I'm not surprised, becaused I've loved pretty much everything you've written. My favorite V/D piece out there is probably "Photographs Are Stored In Boxes", which is fantastic.

P.S.--congrats on the ficfrommars awards! Not that I, like, stalk you or anything.

Hee. I think if you identify yourself as a stalker, you're not so stealthy, so I feel unthreatened and more comfortable.

Thanks for the nice words, and for the congratulations. It was a nice treat to come back after several days and see pretty banners for me.

*looks around sheepishly*

This isn't a thread I visit often, but I wanted to pimp this story because I really liked it. It has my guilty pleasure ship of Logan/Jackie. Yes, I know *boo, hiss, boo* but it's not smaltzy or romantic or anything that sort. It very nice and hope you'll give it a try. I'm really quite awful describing stories but it just seems very honest and true to the characters to me.

*slinks off into the shadows*

Oh and sadie kate, I read "The Truth Is Never Easy, And Often Isn't Good" and absolutely loved it.

Queenrikki, if Logan/Jackie rocks your world, have you checked out Deadweight?

Also, I've written something a little different for the Loveathons Cupid Challenge. It's entirely Lilly's point of view. Down the Vibrant String. I'd love to know what you think about how well I managed to balance the love story with the more mystical aspects.

Sadie- Loved all the new Lamb fic! Awesome as usual!

Hi, newbie here. Sadiekate's Who Was Crying Or What They Were Crying For got me crying all the way thru...good thing I was alone in my room. Keith's funeral scene was so moving (could picture the scene in my head, and I love DaddyMars) and Aaron's execution scene was heartbreaking. I love Logan's characterization in Hollow World. So the scene was painful to imagine...but what could I say...angst is delicious.
Anyway, I'm looking for dark, angsty fics that focuses on Logan/ LoVe with good characterization-something like Hollow World. Could anyone help?

wortel, have you read Holding the Curve by tiana? If not, you definitely need to.

I read Down the Vibrant String (and I never leave feedback in LJ because I am a total slacker, sorry) - I really liked it, I thought all the characters seemed spot on, and I liked the basic premise. But the end seemed schmaltzy and confusing - she comes back to life?

I was actually wondering the same thing about "Down the Vibrant String."

I wrote a two-part fic...it's my first fic ever. I feel bad about pimping my own fic, but I'm new to this, and would love more feedback. :)

These Empty Hands, Part 1

These Empty Hands, Part 2

I haven't read that, but I'm sure going to check it out. I don't really read all that much fanfic. Or at least not the VM variety, since I hate Logan and Logan/Veronica and that seems to be the majority of what's out there. But I do like the whole Logan/Jackie thing because, well, they're both rather messed up and I like trainwrecks.

LaFilipiniana1- Damn! That's your first fic? That is awesome, really.

rowanceleste ~ I promise that I AM working on the next chapter of Holding the Curve! Hoping to make a lot of progress this weekend, so we'll see! Thanks for asking and 'encouraging' me. ;)

Superbacca ~ Thanks for reccing HtC. You're too kind!

And well, since I'm here, I might as well point to two one-shot Logan/Veronica fics I posted this week. So, let the self-pimpage begin!

The More Things Change (L/V, R) and Rain Check (L/V, NC-17).

Also, I highly recommend sadiekate's Polished Smooth, And Beauty Out Of Broken Things. You do NOT have to be a Duncan fan to love this fic. I am living proof of that fact.

Thanks for reading! :)

Tiana, I've loved everything I've read by you (well, okay, "everything" is actually only the two fics you just recced ... so far).

Yay for more Holding the Curve. Always happy to hear that Tiana is working on an update!

If anyone is interested in reading a Logan/Hannah fic, please check out Lila82's Get Free. It's a beautiful piece of fiction and Lila has done a wonderful job of expanding Hannah's character.

Truemyth, really enjoyed Down the Vibrant String.

I haven't read any of Holding the Curve due to my inability to handle WIPs, but tiana, I seriously loved The More Things Change and might have to start readign HtC!

"Holding The Curve" is well worth the anticipa...tion, even if tiana is the queen of leaving us with wanting more. Every time she posts an update I have an excuse to go back and read from the beginning, so it's definitely more bang for my buck.

Thanks everyone for the really nice words.

Yeah, I just spent the last hour devouring all of it. And it was awesome. More!! (Now I understand all the harrassment for more, because...damn).

Was that a Rocky Horror Picture Show-style "anticipa...tion"?

tiana, I too am a fan of Holding the Curve. New installment soon? Pretty please?

sadie kate, Polished Smooth, And Beauty Out Of Broken Things was absolutely lovely. I don't read a lot of fic, but I'm glad I clicked the link in this case. Great job.

Nay and LaFilipiniana1, what exactly confused you? It was my intention, yes, that Lilly did come back to life, fully and completely. I think it's telling that she doesn't interact with Veronica and Logan once they have given her what she needed. To me, it was slightly creepy and a bit strange, so not schmaltzy. Unless you were referring to my comments about Veronica and Logan loving each other? If I still haven't answered your questions, I'd love to know where you found yourself getting confused and what exactly you felt was overly sentimental.

I'm glad you liked it atropos116.

Truemyth, you totally cleared it up for me. It was just the stuff about Lilly being alive again that confused me. Anyway, I really enjoyed the fic, I thought it was great. Very original.

Lileron - thank you!

TrueMyth and Queen Haq, thank you so much for the fic recs! Both those fics were rather odd pairings, so I'm glad people are enjoying them. Hopefully we'll be seeing more excellent fic from both of you soon!

Nay ~ Wow, thanks very much! All my VM fic is on my L J and my website, so if you want to read more, there you go! (I haven't updated the site with the last three one shots yet, but I will soon.)

Queen_haq ~ Thanks, dear! I AM working on it this weekend. Of course, instead of that, I've just been reading a bunch of the Cupid Loveathons fics and your fic, Jailbait, was wonderfully smutty AND angsty.I'll leave you more comments over there. :P

ETA: Jailbait was actually written by the lovely Disdainful Lady (ladydisdain on LJ) and I am actually a DORK. Sorry for the mixup and thanks for the gracious correction, QH. You SHOULD have written a Cupid fic so I could enjoy it today! Too much smut in one day obviously fried my brain. :P

atropos116~Thanks for the love on The More Things Change and your willingness to take on Htc, despite it being a WIP. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

kimilu ~ New chapter is coming. Pretty soon. Thanks for asking!

And my lovely sadiekate, you spoil me ROTTEN with your words of praise. I can't tell you how much it means, especially from someone as crazy talented as you. *smooch* *leaves you wanting more* Heh.

Oh, and truemyth, I just read Down the Vibrant String. Beautiful! I'll leave you more detailed comments on LJ, but the language was hypnotic.

Shutting up now. Thanks again!

Tiana, you made me blush. Even if it is accidental. Hee.

Jailbait is wonderfully smutty and angsty but unfortunately, I didn't write that. The wonderful Disdainful Lady did. I'm sure she can't wait to read your feedback! :)

QH ~ *slaps forehead* Sorry, dear! I made a little ETA in my post. I must have been channeling my disappointment that you didn't write a Cupid fic. ;)

Also, you're HOT. (Did I make you blush again?)

Marylane23 just posted a beautiful post-An Echolls Family Christmas fic over at livejournal, featuring Logan and Veronica. I highly, highly recommend it, as evidenced by the embarrassingly gushy feedback I left it.

Silent Night

To gabs3.0, rowanceleste, and anyone else waiting for more of This Alien Shore, I will be starting on chapter four as soon as I've finished my entries for the Ask Questions Later and 5 Things That Never Happened Challenges. After that, I am challenge-free till the end of March. Woot! Sorry to lag on the updates, but I promise I have not abandoned the fic! Your encouragement is awesome, and much appreciated. :)

Speaking of challenges, here's my reponse to jayjay's request for the L/V Ficathon over at LJ...

Dr. Strangelove

It's a flufflet set in Veronica's freshman year of college. She tries to be useful. Wallace and Logan try to be helpful. And aren't. Also, a man dresses like a dog! Hee!

I know it wasn't to me but thanks TrueMyth for the Deadweight recommendation. I really enjoyed this fic. It was awesome. I don't really like Jackie. However, I did warm up to her in ANMMHE. And for some reason I've always thought she and Logan had chemistry. So they are my new ship, which I'm christening JLo. Heh.

JLo 4evah!!11

Oh, darling. Just no. Please no.

Apparently I cannot stop reccing fics tonight.

shizam23 at livejournal just posted an absolutely lovely fic, wherein Wallace, Weevil, Veronica and Logan hang out together and wait for the verdict in Aaron's trial. So unbelievably good.

The Waiting Is What Kills You

LaFilipiniana1, I'm glad I was able to clear that up for you.

tiana thanks for you kind words both here and on LJ.

Can't get enough of Looks Like An Evil Doer! Go read part 4. And so many other good fics have been rec'd recently so I am just going to encourage people to check out basically everything that has been linked in the last page or so because they have all been really fun to read. I left more detailed love in comments for the authors at their stories.
But must point out that LaFilipiniana1's first VM fic These Empty Hands
is a fun, suspenseful read, specifically part 2.

I've got a new fic posted for the "Ask Questions Later" challenge. It's L/V, NC-17, and contains banter, fluff, smut, and covert ops.

Vast Reserves Of Patience (Acquisitions)

Go read sadie kate's "Ask Questions Later" fic now. Now! Why are you still here?

*flails wildly and points at link in previous post*

Hee! You just like it because of your Dr. Strangelove shoutout.

Damn, how awesome is it when you don't even have to self-pimp your own fic? Thank you Sadiekate, for reccing "Silent Night".

What's best about this whole situation is that I don't have to wait to return the favor. I'm going to second mutinousmuse's sentiments: Everone should go read Sadie's fantastic Vast Reserves Of Patience (Acquisitions). You not only get amazing banter and a really hot read, but also a shout out to one of my favorite book series of all time. Triple threat, baby.

And while I'm at it, I'm going to second Sadiekate's rec and say that The Waiting Is What Kills You is marvelous.

Shutting up now. :)

Thanks for the shout-out Doula. You're the best!

This has been an excellent weekend for fanfic. I am back with yet another rec.

and the holy ghost was moving too by buffyx is absolutely astounding. Beautiful and bittersweet.

For those of you who enjoyed Dark_Roast's wonderful sci-fi/Tom Sawyer-ish/Logan series A Fish Out of Water, I have a treat for you.

The author has buried a companion piece to "Fish" in her "Author's Notes" section. She won't let me link to it, because she wants everyone to find it for themselves. But it's worth the search!
